I thought it would be great to start a thread that lays out all the creative strategies that an investor can employ in their real estate business. Here's a list I started. So far I have 22. When talking with motivated sellers I think it's great to have this list in front of you so you can easily determine which strategy would best fit the deal and create a win/win for everyone. There's definately LOTS of room for creativity in this business! Can you think of any strategies to add to this list?
[b]Strategies:
1. Fix and hold
2. Fix and flip
3. Rental property takeover
4. Contract Assignment
5. Wholesale w/double escrow
6. Sub2 to LO
7. Sub2 to retail
8. Sub2 w/seller as Equity Partner (Seller holds a 2nd mortgage until flipped)
9. Sandwich LO - Staying inbetween
10. Wholesale LO - Being the minister marrying the seller and tenant/buyer
11. Owner finance to LO
12. Owner finance to rental
13. Land Contract/Contract for Deed
14. Option
15. Flex Option
16. Short Sale
17. Realtor Referral
18. Wraps
19. Syndication
20. 1031 Exchange
21. Buy cash and sell using owner financing. Optional: Sell the note you created after it’s seasoned a year or two.
22. Buy distressed note, do cash for keys, then flip house.

Jerry Kisasonak this is a wicked home run!
so tickled to add my 0.02:
Master Lease Option-finding a distressed landlord on a multifamily, and offering a consistent cashflow. You step in, improve the property, cure the loss to lease problems and make money on the spread.
Trade equity for property management-take that same distressed out of state property owner. Buhring your maad property management skills, and negotiate a fee and equity earn for your improving the property.
Schweet no money down deals!
How to get 100% financing-find a hard money lender that will fund 100% of the deal for a majority equity position in the flip or the buy and hold. Bring me a deal, give me 70% and you just started your empire.
